For car lovers, TV doesn’t get any better than the BBC’s Top Gear, which comes over cable to the US.

This fresh app brings the show to your phone, complete with news, opinions, excellent photos, rowdy video, and “random nonsense” from the hosts. A social network feature allows you to share with friends and an offline mode lets you read in envy while on the subway.

This 3D golf game isn’t kidding about the “HD” part. Expect large downloads before you’ll be able to tee off. But, once installed, you can swing away on a golf odyssey that includes the Great Wall of China and Outer Space.

Choose from among 20 weapons, including sniper rifles, hand guns, assault rifles, and machine guns, then drop the hammer and paint the landscape red.
